Windows 10 Professional is a higher-end version of the OS, with more sophisticated features for small businesses.<\/p>\n

It has all the features of Windows 10 Home, plus important business functionality for encryption, remote log-in and creating virtual machines.<\/p>\n

With Windows 10 Pro, you will enjoy fast start-ups, a familiar yet expanded Start menu, and great new ways to get stuff done.<\/p>\n

Here are five more key aspects of Windows 10 Professional that will help boost your business.<\/p>\n

BitLocker – enhanced encryption<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Get additional security with BitLocker to help protect your data with encryption and security management.<\/p>\n

BitLocker offers the option to encrypt the Windows boot drive and other fixed drives within the system, as well as USB keys and external drives.<\/p>\n

Remote Desktop Connection<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Windows 10 enables you to log in with Remote Desktop to sign in and use your Pro PC, when you are on the road or at home.<\/p>\n

If you run a small business but travel a lot, Remote Desktop Connection is another reason to consider Windows 10 Professional.<\/p>\n

Client Hyper-V virtual machines<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Create and run virtual machines with Hyper-V so you can run more than one operating system at the same time on the same PC.<\/p>\n

Virtualization creates a secure operating environment within your PC that allows you to run different operating systems, including Linux, future builds of Windows 10, and even older versions of Windows.<\/p>\n

Join your Domain<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You can connect to your business or school Domain or Azure Active Directory to use network files, servers, printers, and more.<\/p>\n

This allows you to bring in your own PC and connect it to the office domain, as group policy management allows an IT admin to control which PCs do what.<\/p>\n

Your apps in the Store<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Windows 10 lets you create your own private app section in the Windows Store for convenient access to company applications.<\/p>\n

So if your business needs specialized enterprise apps, an admin can lock down the Windows Store to make sure employees get those, and nothing else.<\/p>\n

Great devices running Windows 10 Pro<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the easiest ways to enjoy the benefits of Windows 10 Pro is to get a device that has the OS installed when you buy it.<\/p>\n

Here are some great choices to consider:<\/p>\n
